Chrome is alright, and Opera is good too. Firefox is a bit of a hog, especially with lots of add-ons, although it performs adequately as well. I've moved to all Windows 8 machines, and having the IE settings, history, and other settings sync along with very good font scaling at higher DPI and the speed increases over even IE9, it's become my daily driver. I still like Chrome, and it still feels faster than IE on pages with heavy javascript, but I don't find I use such pages very often anymore. Also, the sandboxing of IE (and to be fair, Chrome runs low IL too) on Vista and higher machines, as well as using ASLR on load and code injection during script compile and add-on runtime to detect overflows and other common attack vectors makes it a fair bit more secure on the system than a browser that doesn't use these technologies, so that's a plus as well. Again, it's what works for me, so that is why I use it - performance and security win out for me over functionality (aka add-ons), as I just don't find I need them much anymore.
